You can forget about the Middle East. The new war zones in the future will be the Indian ocean and the Pacific rim. It will be interesting to see how China reacts if this escalates. This is not the early 50's.

I already lived through something like this in the 60's. It's not a fun game for anyone and typically, with North Korea, it's a game. This time though China is a part of this game and that adds a little more seriousness to the whole picture.

So far the biggest threat China poses to us is the massive amount of people that they can throw at us because their citizens are expendable per their government attitude.

I say we knock out all of their communications, power sources, bridges and main roads and water treatment facilities. Then bomb the sheit out of them with stealth fighters, bombers and cruise missiles as well as a massive 48 hour artillery barrage from land and sea.
All the while bolstering the front line, which would be difficult for them to invade anyway because of massive mine fields.

We need to strike first and demoralize them. This would cause a massive wave of refugees into China as well. They would be starved of rations, no communication, no fresh water, no sewage treatment, no transportation, and no electricity. And we should do it during the coldest time of year.

This would certainly piss off China for which we would just have to nuke without warning from some well placed submarines.
Lets face it folks....we are all sick of the threat of a global war hanging over our heads, and trying to rationalize with these people is futile. Lets just do it and get it over with, and maybe...just maybe if there are any survivors, they can rebuild and have another thermonuclear war of their own again some day.....because people really do suck!

Take out their nuclear sites then kill off the norths leadership, particularly the Mad Hatter dictator and his son the heir apparent. The masses of the North would rejoice and surrender.

Great in theory but what if in retaliation they send a nuke to a US city (even by slow boat) and level it? Would it be worth it considering it was a couple dozen artillery shells that did not harm the US?

I think once the leadership is gone the people would be so busy looting and partying no one would even think about it.

The big difference is there is no religious connection to this reason area, North Korea is a straight up police state.
